NOTE: The PTO Driveshaft provided with your new machine

is sized to fit a standard category 1 PTO (1-3/8" DIA.
x 6" Spline).

The PTO shaft on the tractor that is to use this
machine must rotate clockwise when viewing the PTO
from the rear of the tractor. If the PTO rotates
counterclockwise, you must have your tractor
modified by installing a gearbox to reverse the
direction of rotation.

The length of the PTO Driveshaft that is included

with your new machine may need to be modified.
See the procedure for checking the PTO Shaft length
needed and modification instructions in this chapter.

1. Back the Tractor to the Chipper and position the Lower

Draft Arms near the Chipper Hookup Pins (Figure 11).

2. Slide the Lower Draft Arms onto the Chipper Hookup

Pins and secure with Tractor Hitch Pins (Figure 12).

3. Position the Upper Draft Arm inside the Mounting

Bracket and align with the Mounting Bracket Holes
(Figure 13).

4. Insert the Tractor Hitch Pin to secure the Upper Draft

Arm to the Chipper.
